In Lebanon, Sex…And Security Sell

These advertisements for City Mall on the first page of two of today’s newspapers combine skimpy models, security check paraphernalia and heavy sexual innuendo (especially in the first one) to advertise themselves.

In a way, the ads are ingenious if bordering on exploitative. People are scared to go shopping because of all the bombs, but with such babes making sure no bombs are coming in, perhaps we should go spend some bucks.
